Whats tha all reckon to this?

No, bronze mesh perhaps.

Or three independent layers of protection?

nanoleaf?

 

[Lightning]

ooh, I’ve never heard of nanoleaf, what’s that?

 

[Joker 1299]

I didnt actually mean nanoleaf, (auto spell check) but it looks cool. What i meant was the technology that uses just a layer of atoms to conduct electricity. Lightning is much more concise.

@flying banana Just checking you are ok and not engulfed in a fireball…

ha. cheers. i lived . i also plugged my van in without unrolling the cable. living on the edge

If you can get all the way home with it still plugged in, you get extra points.

The worst one I’ve seen on here were the utter cretins vociferously arguing that leaving the locking wheel nut loose is absolutely the right thing to do, otherwise it’s difficult to remove. I think some of them are still alive, for now.

Stick around until the next reverse polarity punch up. You ain’t seen nuttin yet!!

I'm just glad that all vans are DSG now, that saves a few heated arguments.

Just got back from using the garden hose to fill up my water tank. Did I miss anything?

I just spat out a peanut laughing, luckily the dog caught it.

It can be pretty difficult to get ingition from the fat, accuracy positioned piezoelectric discharge spark, of the perfect air to gas ratio mixture at the precision engineered hob burner jet. It sometimes takes multiple sparks before the mixture burns. The chances of a random weak not optimally positioned discharge spark igniting a miniscule gas leak without accurate air to gas mixture at a hose connection is absolutely remote. Personally I would be more worried about being struck by lightning while trying a few sausages.

I wouldn't worry. Unless they're his sausages.

The certification spark discharge energy limit in aircraft tanks is 200uJ. This is tiny. I don’t know the energy required to ignite butane. It’s simply easier to design out isolated conductors, than to demonstrate this limit can never be exceeded. Also, dont cook sausages within 25 miles of a thunderstorm.

Luckily that 907 hose connection is not located inside an aircrafts tank is all I can say

I would design it out, so it wouldn’t get in there. Accidents often involve an unfortunate series of events. In this case a bad design in combination with something else, like a hose being pulled off accidentally, could result in a spark and an ignition. Many of the design rules result from lessons learned following accidents. That’s why it’s so much safer to fly now. Many of the fuel tank safety rules are a result of the TWA flight 800 accident.

I once watched a chap trying to light the flare stack on the Claymore platform in the North Sea. Took him two goes with a flare gun. Went off with a decent “whoosh” Fireball was a good 50’ I reckon.

For civil aircraft, no single failure shall result catastrophic failure AND
Each catastrophic failure condition must be extremely improbable, meaning a probability of less than 1x10^-9 per flight hour.
Military aircraft designers are fast and loose at 1x10^-8.

I still really don’t care what people do at home.

I don't know what's in your aircraft fuel tank but if the connection on the gas hose of flying bananas rig up comes apart and ignites the gas, it will result in a yellow coloured gas flare as the gas mixes with the atmosphere and burns. The gas in the hose or back into the cylinder cannot ignite as there is no Oxygen present in either. The gas cylinder will not explode. The likely outcome is probably scorched grass or a burnt breakfast. If he is very unlucky he might get first degree burns or set his van alight. If I ever meet you on a campsite I will keep well away from you as I safely refill my gaz cylinders and I am sure you would not be able to relax if you were within blast range of me.

By yellow coloured flare you mean flame I suppose. I don’t remember saying anything was going to explode, I said ignite the gas. So as an alternative to risking setting things on fire, he could simply just not do that. What’s your objection to this approach exactly? Is it elf and safety gone mad?
